Community college chancellor's contract extended

Constance Carroll, chancellor of the San Diego Community College District, has had her contract extened through 2015.

“We have made amazing achievements under Chancellor Carroll’s leadership and with our great executive team,” said Rich Grosch, president of the district’s Board of Trustees, which approved the extension this week .

Carroll has been chancellor of the three-college district since 2004. Before that she served as president of Mesa College.

Officials noted that Carroll has presided over a massive construction program funded by voter approved bond measures. In addition, the district has received top credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s.

The contract extension does not include a salary increase. Carroll, who earns $268,000 annually, is covered by district’s bargaining agreement that bases raises on new revenue, something that has not materialized in recent years.
